This week, Ahmed Mohamed was arrested by Texas police for bringing a homemade clock to school — because teachers thought it looked like a bomb!

According to reports, the 14-year-old student was suspended from Irving McArthur High School and taken to a juvenile detention center after his English teacher noticed the clock and immediately reported the student to the police!

This move would make sense for NBCUniversal, who is the parent company of the cable-news network. Williams could be just the ticket to boost the ratings of MSNBC, who has fallen behind competing channels Fox News and CNN.

Both NBC News and Williams' attorney declined to comment on the 56-year-old's new role, but an official announcement is expected to be released as early as Thursday!

We think this is a great move for the news station. Holt has been holding his own in the Nightly News ratings, while keeping Williams in the NBC family as an anchor will prevent any litigious vengeance!

But executives at NBC are still looking to keep the 56-year-old at the network, though they have yet to agree on a suitable role for the troublemaker. One source explained:

"Brian's six-month suspension is over in early August, and NBC chiefs are under pressure to come up with a solution. The talks are complicated and are ongoing, and there has not yet been a deal. But it is likely he won't be back in the ‘Nightly' anchor chair. A decision could be made as early as this week, if all sides can reach an agreement."

Hopefully, B-Dubs and the executives can come to an agreement for the seasoned anchor to stay on with the NBC family.

If not, the journalist has promised he wouldn't go down without a fight, and would have to be paid out a huge chunk of his contract — which is worth about $10 million a year for five years!

Do YOU think the network will find a way to keep the fabricating anchor on their team? SOUND OFF in the comments!

"My metabolism actually changed like crazy this year. I have Hashimoto's disease. It's a thyroid disease, and it's now been two years since taking the medication for it, so for the VS show I didn't want to lose any more weight, I just want to have muscles in the right place, and if my butt can get a little perkier, then that's good."
